00:11.623 --> 00:16.766
[SPEAKER_00]: This podcast is known for exposing the truth, but sometimes that should go deeper.
00:17.606 --> 00:19.727
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you really trust who you're listening to?
00:20.547 --> 00:23.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Did they really vent everything they said before they put it on their show?
00:24.669 --> 00:27.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, like I always have, I am bringing the receipts.
00:28.251 --> 00:33.854
[SPEAKER_00]: Except this time, the receipts were hit harder, and they are undisputed.
00:34.674 --> 00:40.317
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where not afraid presents for the record with David McCleum.
00:43.277 --> 00:45.198
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back to No Way, Jose.
00:45.839 --> 00:46.779
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm David McClam.
00:47.260 --> 00:52.423
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have some disappointing news for anybody celebrating the disappearance of our subreddit.
00:53.083 --> 00:53.924
[SPEAKER_00]: We're still here.
00:54.584 --> 00:58.947
[SPEAKER_00]: The receipt will exist and this conversation is far from over.
00:59.767 --> 01:03.650
[SPEAKER_00]: You can start refreshing that missing page and start preparing an actual answer.
01:04.470 --> 01:09.754
[SPEAKER_00]: A subreddit ban does absolutely nothing to resolve the problems we've identified and pretend reporting.
01:10.446 --> 01:16.148
[SPEAKER_00]: it doesn't fix a timeline, explain a contradiction, or make a recording say something different.
01:16.888 --> 01:24.691
[SPEAKER_00]: Anybody treating that band like a journalistic victory is celebrating the removal of a discussion instead of winning the argument inside it.
01:25.512 --> 01:28.873
[SPEAKER_00]: In Havier, the questions have survived beautifully.
01:29.413 --> 01:37.416
[SPEAKER_00]: They're still sitting right where we left them, waiting for something more substantial than a professional biography and a website full of promises.
01:38.658 --> 01:40.599
[SPEAKER_00]: which brings me to our first announcement.
01:41.239 --> 01:43.140
[SPEAKER_00]: The receipts have a new home coming.
01:43.720 --> 01:48.022
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll share the address through our official channels and the work will continue there.
01:48.662 --> 01:52.443
[SPEAKER_00]: The documents, the source comparisons, the explanations.
01:52.943 --> 01:56.645
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything people need to understand what we're challenging and why.
01:57.504 --> 02:07.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I know some of you were upset about losing the subreddit, I was too, because people have put time into reading and discussing material that deserve detention.
02:07.752 --> 02:10.874
[SPEAKER_00]: But nobody should mistake frustration for surrender.
02:11.414 --> 02:14.597
[SPEAKER_00]: We have other places to publish, and we intend to use them.
02:15.381 --> 02:18.682
[SPEAKER_00]: There is more coming about the red activities surrounding this story too.
02:19.262 --> 02:24.803
[SPEAKER_00]: That material deserves an episode of a zone with the supporting evidence available for people to examine.
02:25.223 --> 02:30.024
[SPEAKER_00]: Will give it the attention of these nerves and will announce further developments when they're ready.
02:30.744 --> 02:38.846
[SPEAKER_00]: For tonight, Harvey Air, let's talk about that website of yours, because you have published some impressive promises about how your journalism works.
02:39.226 --> 02:42.927
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would love to see those promises put in a full day's work.
02:43.677 --> 02:52.464
[SPEAKER_00]: Your editorial standards page marked as updated in September, 2026 says that significant factual claims are checked against primary material.
02:53.125 --> 02:59.010
[SPEAKER_00]: It says allegations are separated from established facts and confirmed errors are corrected on the podcast.
02:59.819 --> 03:04.301
[SPEAKER_00]: Excellent, your audience now has a written standard against which to measure your episodes.
03:04.981 --> 03:08.242
[SPEAKER_00]: The trouble is that publishing the standard doesn't satisfy you.
03:08.802 --> 03:18.186
[SPEAKER_00]: You still have to open the records, confront the contradictions and explain what happened when the story you told doesn't line up neatly with the material underneath it.
03:18.826 --> 03:21.147
[SPEAKER_00]: The website cannot do that homework for you.
03:22.672 --> 03:24.594
[SPEAKER_00]: Take part for the LaDonna Huffie series.
03:25.214 --> 03:31.620
[SPEAKER_00]: Her description says she emerges from the shadows to entangle herself in an arts and investigation.
03:32.161 --> 03:42.691
[SPEAKER_00]: Your transcript characterizes her interview as a smear campaign, while acknowledging that investigators called her and that you had no evidence, she was involved in the fire.
03:43.820 --> 03:54.452
[SPEAKER_00]: He merbedes from the shadows, good grief, hobby, air, but woman answered investigators' questions, and your promotional copy makes a sound like she came crawling out of a crypt with the revenge plot.
03:55.053 --> 04:00.038
[SPEAKER_00]: You certainly knew how you wanted the artist to picture her before the exam in the circumstances.
04:00.879 --> 04:02.581
[SPEAKER_00]: Those circumstances matter.
04:03.202 --> 04:10.109
[SPEAKER_00]: Investigators asking someone about her history with a former employer creates context for the answers that follow.
04:10.769 --> 04:16.955
[SPEAKER_00]: Treating those answers as evidence of her agenda requires you to account when investigators actually asked her.
04:17.476 --> 04:23.182
[SPEAKER_00]: You cannot fairly analyze and interview by getting irritated that the witness answered the questions.
04:24.762 --> 04:30.905
[SPEAKER_00]: Then there is the chronology, which remains a problem regardless of how many dramatic adjectives you throw at it.
04:31.546 --> 04:38.910
[SPEAKER_00]: The June 9th, 2016 interview begins with the investigator acknowledging that John Allen has already been arrested.
04:39.530 --> 04:44.773
[SPEAKER_00]: Your episode later carries

Anthony Christopher's account attributing the charges to Humphrey statements.
04:45.630 --> 04:55.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Put those events in order of a year, identify the statements being relied on, show when they were made and explain how they influenced the charging decision.
04:56.802 --> 05:04.610
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you conducted after the rest cannot have caused that arrest, an earlier communication with need is own supporting record.
05:05.306 --> 05:08.769
[SPEAKER_00]: That is basic reporting work, and it deserves a direct answer.
05:09.330 --> 05:12.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody needs another speech about the personalities involved.
05:12.933 --> 05:19.499
[SPEAKER_00]: The date on a record has no opinion of you, no podcast to promote, and no interest in joining anybody's team.
05:20.220 --> 05:25.065
[SPEAKER_00]: Your current investigation page also states limits on what pretend has established.
05:25.605 --> 05:38.293
[SPEAKER_00]: It acknowledges that you have not independently verified who created the Fedusmaster account, have not verified how the disputed Oasis grant money was spent and have found no evidence hopefully was involved in the fire.
05:38.814 --> 05:42.056
[SPEAKER_00]: Your audience deserves to understand those limits.
05:43.592 --> 05:46.516
[SPEAKER_00]: but suspicion can justify asking questions.
05:47.156 --> 05:49.019
[SPEAKER_00]: It cannot answer those questions for you.
05:49.619 --> 05:57.068
[SPEAKER_00]: The investigation is supposed to supply the missing evidence and a confident voice over dramatic music does not count as evidence.
05:58.005 --> 06:07.535
[SPEAKER_00]: I call sensational framing like Part 4 description, yellow journalism because it encourages the audience to feel a conclusion before the record has earned it.
06:08.096 --> 06:10.498
[SPEAKER_00]: The sinister language does its work early.
06:10.979 --> 06:17.025
[SPEAKER_00]: By the time the quality of the cases arrived, listeners have already been handed a character to distrust.
06:17.726 --> 06:22.410
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm tired of these skews that a person's complicated history makes accuracy optional.
06:22.910 --> 06:23.430
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't.
06:24.031 --> 06:34.358
[SPEAKER_00]: And at verse finding, and one dispute cannot carry every accusation made in another, and a source being angry at someone does not make every part of that source of story reliable.
06:34.979 --> 06:36.980
[SPEAKER_00]: Each claim has to stand on its own.
06:37.881 --> 06:39.842
[SPEAKER_00]: However, this is your published work.
06:40.402 --> 06:45.383
[SPEAKER_00]: You chose the sources, the wording, the sequence, and the presentation.
06:46.023 --> 06:56.186
[SPEAKER_00]: Examine those choices as a perfectly legitimate use of everyone else's time, especially when you have used those choices to shape the public's understanding of another person.
06:56.986 --> 06:59.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Your correction policy supplies a straightforward test.
07:00.208 --> 07:04.750
[SPEAKER_00]: When a factual error is confirmed, you say the correction goes on the podcast.
07:05.490 --> 07:13.533
[SPEAKER_00]: Show your listeners where a challenge error was addressed, or produce the evidence that supports your original statement, give them something they can check.
07:14.233 --> 07:20.975
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't give a damn how impressive the standards page looked if a specific documented challenge gets no specific answer.
07:21.516 --> 07:25.877
[SPEAKER_00]: Professional language is cheap, owning an area in front of the ordinance that are heard
07:28.912 --> 07:37.861
[SPEAKER_00]: You want people to respect the title and investigate of journalists, then do the work that makes the title mean something when the investigation turns toward your own reporting.
07:38.422 --> 07:46.530
[SPEAKER_00]: Explain the source, account for the dates, and address the criticism without making the critic the subject of another character assessment.
07:47.343 --> 07:51.585
[SPEAKER_00]: The truth does not become less relevant because it arrives from somebody you dislike.
07:52.205 --> 07:57.647
[SPEAKER_00]: A document does not lose its contents because the person sharing it has challenged you publicly.
07:58.147 --> 08:04.250
[SPEAKER_00]: And a recording does not suddenly become unreliable because he creates trouble for the episode built around him.
08:14.811 --> 08:18.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Our new home will give people some way to keep examining those records.
08:18.472 --> 08:23.034
[SPEAKER_00]: We will keep putting the claims beside the sources and explaining the problems we see.
08:23.635 --> 08:28.156
[SPEAKER_00]: The audience can read, listen, question, and decide.
08:28.797 --> 08:32.698
[SPEAKER_00]: So enjoy the missing subreddit anyone who thinks that settled something.
08:33.218 --> 08:38.840
[SPEAKER_00]: We have more work to publish, more questions to pursue, and more announcements coming.
08:39.421 --> 08:42.382
[SPEAKER_00]: You have mistaken an interruption for an ending.
08:43.287 --> 08:45.148
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is no way whole Z.
08:47.030 --> 08:48.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's not pretend.
08:49.011 --> 08:50.512
[SPEAKER_00]: This is only the beginning.
08:51.413 --> 08:59.018
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm David McClam exposing bad actors and the true crime community one episode at a time.
